We’re starting to get a sense of how the conflict in Iran might end. A U.S. official told Axios reporters Marc Caputo and Barak Ravid that the U.S. is asking Iran to commit to six things:
No missile program for five years.
Zero uranium enrichment.
Decommissioning the Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow nuclear facilities
Strict protocols around centrifuges and other nuclear machinery
A missile cap of 1,000.
No financing for proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis
It’s a completely reasonable list (and one that exposes how weak the JCPOA truly was by comparison).
The Iranian regime is currently playing its last card—closing the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump is demanding they open it, and the Europeans seem open to assisting the President take back control of Hormuz.
God willing, the President is able to find his way to a victory very soon.
